Organ donation and live organ transplantation are critical issues for those living with kidney disease.

At Kidney Health Australia we work with the Australian Organ and Tissue Authority, DonateLife, all Governments and health organisations to continue to push for increases in Australia’s organ donation rate.

In addition, Kidney Health Australia is the key advocate for live organ donors and live organ transplantation.

To that end, Kidney Health Australia has successfully advocated for the Supporting Leave for Living Organ Donors Program, which provides 9 weeks of paid leave for organ donors who require time away from work to donate.

You can read about our work in our submissions, or more about the Leave for Living Organ Donors Program here.
